Making Ink washes

Making Ink washes

This was my process for making my own ink washes; I used 4 or 6 small mixing cups, and picked 2 or 3 colors,

I started with about 50/50 water/pledge and a second cup water/matte with a few drops of ink,

I set up a ton of zombie minis. As I mixed I’d test on a mini, add more ink, more matte/polish test again.

Very unscientific but by the end I had a ton of finished minis and a few pots of ink washes I was happy with!

 

thanks for reading!


Casting cement progress

Casting cement progress

I’m able to make about three per week and try to keep my molds full. It still takes awhile but I’m getting quite a collection of faces cast. I’ll be excited to have these filling my #sectetgarden #cement #art #kingdomdeath

Kingdom death models

Kingdom death models

Resculpting the seams between the parts to hide the construction and add some details where the parts flatten out with small batches of #greenstuff Totally unnecessary with kits these well designed but I wanted that little extra touch. The #kingdomdeath prologue survivors, White lion, and Butcher are ready to mount to their bases and prime. #miniature #art

Finished assembly or the #kingdomdeathmonster prologue survivors and the White lion, and did the butcher while I was it. The subtleties and detail of these figures amazes me, so many little parts that tightly fit together. I was really glad to have won some #kromlech thick superglue I wouldn’t have tried it on my own but it was exactly what I needed to put them together without drowning any details. #miniature #kingdomdeath #art

It’s that time once again, the #shellmen rise! I selected an aged branch from one of my trees, and chopped it into a new set of bases #sculpture #art

Head of #DonQuixote pulled from the mold and given a quick once over. Pretty happy with how he came out, the gears and metal look better than I’d expected. It’s pretty heavy though, and I’m feeling like I may need to reinforce the body frame even more before I even test it out. #art #sculpture
